Kolmogorov and Aleksandrov in Sevan monastery, Armenia, 1929 (Q1889964)

In 1929, Kolmogorov and his life-long friend P. S. Aleksandrov lived for about 20 days in a closed down monastery on an island of Sevan in Armenia. While there, they completed some portions of their future (German) publications with Aleksandrov helping Kolmogorov with the language. They also climbed a summit of a mountain situated more than 2km above Sevan ``which did not present any complications'' (Kolmogorov).
